Courses in the “Mandatory” category are mandatory in some states but may not be mandatory in all. Please review your state’s regulations.

CE verification forms are emailed immediately upon successful completion of the course evaluation and quiz (if any). Check spam if you don’t receive it.
e) Inability to join, view or participate in a webinar due to issues outside of PLS control such as User error, loss of internet access, unavailability of the webinar hosting service, computer or other technical failure prior to or during the course will be remedied as follows: PLS will provide access to a recording of the webinar or a link to a future webinar on the same topic at PLS’s discretion.
